Take a look at TOP STORY in Spacedaily...
Cassini Catches Enceladus Transit "The image is so new that Cassini scientists have not yet verified which of the other moons is involved in the encounter." So if I have understand this correctly, Cassini just snaps images and scientist later try to gues what's on them. Great job!!!  
-------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

If you don't mind, I'd like to split this thread up, between questions regarding the Enceladus image and Saturn composition posts.

QUOTE (volcanopele @ Mar 9 2006, 06:34 PM) Done and Done FWIW, aside from minor spelling errors or violations of the terms of service, I'd tread very easy in changing the names of topic titles or altering the content of posts. If this option is exercised too often, the history of the site can be literally re-written (even if unintentionally) in a sort of Orwellian way, IMO. |

If this option is exercised too often, the history of the site can be literally re-written (even if unintentionally) in a sort of Orwellian way, IMO. I agree. However, there are cases where the thread title, or the description don't mention what the thread is about or even providing a clue. In those cases, I feel it is appropriate to amend the thread title to make it clearer. IF the thread originator disagrees, I have no problem with changing it back, but I feel in this case it was appropriate to change. This option, as you mention, should not be exercised often, but I feel one of the duties of a moderator is to ensure ease of communication, and have thread or description titles that reflect the content of at least the first post, is one of the more important necessities. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!
